I always wondered what the people who actually knew and worked with Colonel Hackworth really thought of him. I was lucky to be able to have that question answered when I had the honor of interviewing retired Brigadier General James H. Mukayama for an episode of my podcast. The general told me that Colonel Hackworth quote never did things for personal gain he always did things for the unit and for the soldiers it is that underlying theme that permeates about face  that stuck with me as a leader. People's strengths are often their weaknesses and perhaps doing things for the soldiers was Colonel Hackworth's undoing in his interview with Howard Tucker.
